Modern Mechanix Round-UP

Today on Modern Mechanix we look at this idea for a floating pitstop for military airships, the 1936 Popular Mechanics premiere of the Hindenburg, some very odd techniques for growing giant mushrooms, and the new auto racing sport of balloon breaking. Have you ever been out to a movie and thought to yourself “I sure do wish I was fishing right now!”? Well, the patrons of this Florida drive in apparently did. We also learned about this 1936 operation to fly all of Tibet’s stockpile of gold out of the country and what lies ahead in the Transportation of Tomorrow.
